Quick Question for Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.8.3, How do you connect the work item to the commit in the new git changes tab? I am having a really hard time using this new git experience thing. I can see my work item in team explorer but no idea how to add this work item to the commit in this new interface. Usually, there will be a button to add related work items when committing the files in the previous version. Please someone help me out?
it look like you can just use hashtag '#' in commit message,
That is the recommended syntax.
Example:
Fix a bug #1234
That would actually close the work item
See more at "Drive Git development from a work item" You can link a work item to commits but also other objects:
The link types you can add within the development section are Branch, Build, Changeset, Commit, Found in build, Integrated in build, Pull Request, and Versioned Item.
